Relating Denominations

We are connected in covenant relationships of mutual accountability and benefit with three denominational partners:

• Mennonite Church USA
• Mennonite Brethren US
• Brethren in Christ

These denominational partnerships are vitally important to the mission of MHS Alliance and our members — being part of God's work of healing and hope in Christ Jesus. Through these relationships we seek to collaborate in ministry and witness, practice common core values, and support one another.
